Barnes.[1] It is an adaptation of the play The Ware Case (1915) by George Pleydell Bancroft,[2] which had previously been made into two silent films, in 1917 and 1928.[3] It had been a celebrated stage vehicle for Sir Gerald Du Maurier.[4] The film was made at Ealing Studios with Stately home exteriors shot in the grounds of Pinewood.[4] Oscar Friedrich Werndorff worked as set designer.[5] In Forever Ealing, George Perry wrote, "The Ware Case is a stagey, melodramatic piece. But it was made on schedule within its budget, and was thus able to go into profit." [3] PlotThe jury looks back on events that lead to profligate baronet Sir Hubert Ware being tried for murder. His brother-in-law's corpse has been found floating in Sir Hubert's garden pond. The baronet is eventually found not guilty, but upon returning home, finds his lawyer is having an affair with his wife. In the ensuing argument, and on discovering his wife loves another man, Sir Hubert confesses his guilt and then makes a suicidal leap from a balcony. Cast
Critical receptionThe New York Times reviewer commented that "you may find some enjoyment in the film. But this reporter found Sir Hubert such an insufferable snob—even though he was played with velvet grace by Clive Brook—and the turning out of the pseudo-mystery story such a chunk of maudlin claptrap that it stirs him to nothing more fervid than a thoroughly indifferent "So what?" And this in spite of the fact that a very good cast does its best".[6] According to TV Guide it is a "strong, tense drama with convincing motivations".[7]References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://allmovie.com/work/the-ware-case-115988|title=The Ware Case (1938) - Robert Stevenson - Synopsis, Characteristics, Moods, Themes and Related - AllMovie|author=Sandra Brennan|work=AllMovie}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Yyqc0Qa6b60C&pg=PA1009&lpg=PA1009&dq=the+ware+case++George+Pleydell+Bancroft&source=bl&ots=K9XjAVq_ya&sig=WOM4ZcrDhvNm56Jy0Gy71rMbhcw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=QBOXVaL5FeOc7gb8_a3gAg&ved=0CEMQ6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=the%20ware%20case%20%20George%20Pleydell%20Bancroft&f=false|title=The Complete Index to Literary Sources in Film|work=google.co.uk}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.britmovie.co.uk/films/The-Ware-Case_1938|title=The Ware Case|work=britmovie.co.uk}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=cmYMXECN-jkC&pg=PA189&lpg=PA189&dq=the+ware+case+1938&source=bl&ots=08_VSOEt-y&sig=jm_X_PNGK3YHLXCNjUnu8dwNYG4&hl=en&sa=X&ei=SQyXVby6GaPR7QbO8LqgAw&ved=0CCAQ6AEwADge#v=onepage&q=the%20ware%20case%201938&f=false|title=Ealing Studios|work=google.co.uk}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://explore.bfi.org.uk/4ce2b785de8e9|title=The Ware Case (1938)|work=BFI}} 6. ^https://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9806EFDE1230E53ABC4A51DFB1668382629EDE&scp=21&sq=mexico%2520gay&st=cse&pagewanted=print 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tvguide.com/movies/the-ware-case/review/122382/|title=The Ware Case|work=TV Guide}} Bibliography
